Better Aim low.


A mbition and aim in life is only limited to

and content. tbs like the delusive marsh

and bog till the victim sinks beneath the mire
OF despair, while the goal he sought to gain is
still beyond his reach.
This prelude will serve to show that my aim
has been high. Yes, so far up the dizzy
heights Of ambitions vaulted peak that it
took the eagle eye OF vivid Imagination to
discern the faintest ontline. Thus was I

What's the Matter with Him,

To the Editor of the Globe:
Seeing you people of the GLOBE have in
sisted that your readers should tell of their
''aims in life have concluded to tell you
Of mine. And l fetch myself per-
pendicular on purpose to explain to
you the situation. Aims are curious
things. And aims in general are high flnown
George Washington has said the higher aim
woman takes when she throws her dishwater
out ut the back door the less she will spill OF
the stoop. So it is with the intellectual pur-
suits of men. The farther they
shoot into futurity the less they
spin around home. My aims failed
before they fairly got their growth My g1-
eantic grasps after massive thoughts have
always met with reDulse, my spontaneous
bursts of aims have suffered ha I'd rebuffs
from an uusympathetIc public. Hence
my aims have not scared as others aims
have scared. They have futtered. and will
continue to f1utter as long as an ungrateful
people force them back. and builds fences of
prejudice around their unprotected aspira-
tons. When q youth aimed
after things lying around loose
but was never protected in my
ambitions. Middle age found me still aiming
after things which were locked up and beyond
my reach only TO be reached often and locked
up myself. Old age finds my aims still re-
strained. So, although my aims were robust
in youth and strong in middle life, at the
present moment they are confined for the
want of space. CROW CUss.
